Abstract Text | Purpose: We describe herein a novel P447_L455 deletion in the C2 domain of PIK3CA in a patient with an ER+ breast cancer with an excellent response to the PI3Kα inhibitor alpelisib. Although PIK3CA deletions are relatively rare, a significant portion of deletions cluster within amino acids 446-460 of the C2 domain, suggesting these residues are critical for p110α function.Experimental Design: A computational structural model of PIK3CAdelP447-L455 in complex with the p85 regulatory subunit and MCF10A cells expressing PIK3CAdelP447-L455 and PIK3CAH450_P458del were used to understand the phenotype of C2 domain deletions.Results: Computational modeling revealed specific favorable inter-residue contacts that would be lost as a result of the deletion, predicting a significant decrease in binding energy. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments showed reduced binding of the C2 deletion mutants with p85 compared with wild-type p110α. The MCF10A cells expressing PIK3CA C2 deletions exhibited growth factor-independent growth, an invasive phenotype, and higher phosphorylation of AKT, ERK, and S6 compared with parental MCF10A cells. All these changes were ablated by alpelisib treatment.Conclusions: C2 domain deletions in PIK3CA generate PI3K dependence and should be considered biomarkers of sensitivity to PI3K inhibitors.

PIK3CA | H450_P458del | deletion | gain of function | PIK3CA H450_P458del results in the deletion of nine amino acids in the C2 PI3K-type domain of the Pik3ca protein from amino acids 450 to 458 (UniProt.org). H450_P458del confers a gain of function to the Pik3ca protein as demonstrated by transformation in culture and activation of the PI3K/Akt/Mtor pathway via increased phosphorylation of Akt, Erk, P70S6K, and P90RSK (PMID: 29284706). | |
